I was born in the bay area of California - back in the good ‘ol 80’s. Shortly before the end of the decade, my family relocated to eastern Washington, where I lived until I graduated from high school. I attended Western Washington University - on the cool side of the state. There, I met my partner Anthony. After Western, we left the Pacific Northwest for the Midwest to attend graduate school at Bowling Green State University. One would think that after two years in the Midwest, Anthony and I would have come to our senses and left that god-forbidden part of the country. Oh, no. We moved to Indianapolis… which is actually a pretty cool city. However, after one year we ran back to Washington and settled in Seattle.
